Any interesting tips to get cat hairs off clothes?

[newmumsuchfun]

other than those sticky rollers? Like something I can put in the wash? Hoping for a home miracle cure ... that i have in my cupboard. Like vinegar!
Anyone know a magic cure?

A rubber-gloved hand rubbed over fabric is good for picking up fur. Or a quick tumble in the dryer.

I have a clothes brush with a flat, sort of felty pad instead of bristles which works well too.

I use the hoover attachment with the brush.

A tumble drier! It's the only reason I bought one. I put the hairy things on a 20 minute cold tumble and it does the trick.

I didn't realise cold tumble dryer does the trick!
.... wanders off to find space for a tumble dryer :D

Use a furminator on the cat every day, they moult in clouds this time of year.

Clippers on cat

Tumble drier - if the clothes will be OK for that. I don't use it for anything else.

What's wrong with the sticky roller things? I LOVE them, they have revolutionised my life, seriously.

Nothing wrong with them at all - I just wear a lot of black (fatal choice with a pale cat, even one who is groomed daily) so I prefer to do the business all in a oner.

A sticky roller is fine if you have a limited amount of hairy stuff. However everything of mine is covered in hair - sheets, bedding, all my clothes ... everything (I have 20 or so cats). If I were to go over the whole lot with sticky rollers I would get through thousands of them and it would take me hours every day. For me a tumble drier is the only way to go.

Wet your hands, run your hands over the fabric, wash fur off hands. Works for me!

Fluffycloudland77 - which model of furminator do you use? I have 3 moggies and a JRT and I am getting desperate with the fur they shed :)

Just wipe over with a damp cloth - it will pick up the hairs - works on furnishings and carpets too.

This is the furminator we use

Words fail me

I use a rubber brush I bought off Amazon. It doesn't produce mirables, but certainly helps eliminated white cat hairs from black school uniform.

Fluffy is that some sort of S&M for cats?

Horrid isn't it?

Yes and a free muzzle.

But...how does that bag help with grooming? You can't actually wash a cat while it's in a bag? You'd just be washing the bag...

Think of it the other way round and get the excess hair off the cat!

A good way to groom a moulting cat is to put slightly damp rubber gloves on, then give them a good rub down. My cat doesn't mind at all and an enormous amount of fluff comes off her. I've also got a grooming kit and she loves the spiky wire brush in it.

Maybe if your cat was groomed more it would shed less

Parcel tape.
Buy things that blend in with cat hair.

I think we just have to accept that we will always, always have some cat hair on us somewhere and just be OK with it.

I find hair on our dinner plates, I groom him most days I just don't understand it.

I would like to speak up for the Furminator. Yes, it looks evil with all the nasty spiky teeth, but you aren't supposed to scrape it directly onto your cat's skin, just comb it through the hairs. Our old girl really adores being groomed with her furminator, and the sheer volume of the loose hairs that come off are mind blowing.

I've also groomed my girl with a hoover, on the lowest possible setting with the dusting brush attachment. She loves that too.
